No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Seeing his expression, even the usually aloof office worker revealed a smile.

That's precisely why he stayed in this team with such an unreliable leader.

"Four kilometers in three minutes, can you do it?" the man in sunglasses asked.

"no problem!"

The man in sunglasses reminded him, "Then the deputy team leader and I will go ahead first. You just follow behind and get there as soon as possible, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Yes!"

......

Upon noticing the anomaly, Xue Wang, who had just come out of the room where the victims were being housed, rushed to the storeroom.

Although she knew that she had no chance of winning against a level six evolved being, and that the other party might have already undergone sublimation, her best option now was to escape and wait for reinforcements.

This was also agreed upon beforehand: no matter where they were, if there was any unusual activity, they would prioritize escaping Yunfu Temple.

The Snow King was incredibly lucky; he was not far from the main gate and could get into the car in no time.

But she knew perfectly well that Jiang Shu was in the warehouse at that moment, rescuing the last batch of victims.

He was only level three, and he hadn't added any skill points.

Faced with a formidable enemy against whom even he had no chance of victory, he had no means of even struggling.

She had to go help, otherwise Jiang Shu wouldn't be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

She didn't know why she did it. Admittedly, she knew that Jiang Shu had great potential, but it didn't really concern her.

The other person was actually just a teammate from the previous incubator, and they had only known each other for a day at most. They didn't even know what kind of person the other person was.

Was it to repay the life-saving grace in the incubator, or because he didn't feel disgusted after seeing her ugly and violent side, but instead clearly expressed his appreciation, or perhaps both? She wasn't sure what the reason was.

But in short, she had an impulse to protect him.

When she came to her senses, she was already standing on the winding path leading to the warehouse.

Then she saw Jiang Shu sitting on the ground, and a pile of ruins in front of him.

Strangely, he didn't move at all.

"hot..."

She wanted to call out to Jiang Shu, but for some reason, her voice was stuck in her throat.

Then, inexplicably, a fear I had never experienced before arose in my heart.

It felt as if some terrifying being was looking down at me, holding my throat, and that the slightest movement would kill me instantly.

Even though I couldn't see anything, this fear kept emerging and engulfing me.

Snow Queen felt her hands and feet go numb and she could hardly move. What was even more terrifying was that this fear brought not only psychological intimidation, but she could also clearly feel that her various abilities were constantly dissipating.

She could clearly feel that all her values ​​were shrinking continuously, as if they were being sealed, and were rapidly and irresistibly heading towards 0.

She gradually became weak, not only physically, but also mentally, and became drowsy.

"A calamity-level skill..."

She realized this at the last minute.

It's a noble percentage-based debuff skill!

Moreover, it's not just a partial weakening, it's a complete and utter weakening!

Only then did Xue Wang understand why Jiang Shu remained motionless, like a stone.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

They had already lost the ability to resist before they even met the abbot of Yunfu Temple.

Snow King finally ran out of strength and collapsed to the ground.

She felt that she couldn't open her eyelids no matter what.

what to do...

The reinforcements are taking so long to arrive...

But at that moment, her thoughts were suddenly disrupted.

Because while she was lying on the ground, she vaguely saw that Jiang Shu seemed to have stood up.

But at this point, she could no longer hold on, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep...

Chapter 47 | The Hero (Please continue reading)

Jiang Shu has experienced a lot of fear.

The fear of facing an invincible ferocious beast, the fear of facing the power of nature while chasing a tornado, the fear of facing the deathly silence of the world in the pitch black of the deep sea, the fear of facing social death when the internet celebrity's identity was almost exposed by the Snow King, and so on.

This time it's different.

He felt a fear he had never experienced before, a fear of being stared at directly in the face of something that transcended all common sense.

This stems from mystery and the unknown.

Jiang Shu felt the flutter in her heart.

It's quite an interesting feeling. Is this the effect of that catastrophic skill?

Like a wine connoisseur who has tasted a flavor he has never experienced before, Jiang Shu felt himself getting into the zone.

Touching his middle finger, Jiang Shu activated the Great Wilderness Heart encircling his finger, responding to its immediate feedback when fear descended—

[Use the Heart of the Wilderness to remove calamity-level negative buffs?]

This is a Cataclysmic item. Although it has limitations, no matter how strong the user is, as long as the skill level is lower than Cataclysmic, it can forcibly remove all negative buffs.

Catastrophe level? Just a roadside one.

Jiang Shu originally thought it could only be used in the hatchery, but unexpectedly, it could play a domineering role anywhere.

It seems that the Great Wilderness Heart can perfectly counter not only numerical reductions similar to weakness effects, but also loss of perception, curses, and various negative statuses.

So, just like in the [Creative Workshop].

After Jiang Shu activated the Heart of the Great Wilderness, his stat reduction immediately stopped and then rebounded instantly.

The fear was still there, but it wasn't a big deal for Jiang Shu. His body had long since adapted to the impact, and he wasn't as overwhelmed by the pressure as the Snow King.

Moreover, instead of feeling uncomfortable, Jiang Shu felt as if he had received more than a dozen injections of adrenaline in one go.

I felt refreshed and inexplicably excited.

At this point, the strong liquor that should have made people faint only had its refreshing and delightful flavor.

He stood up, savoring the lingering aftertaste, and took a deep look at the ruins.

Liu Quanyou ultimately failed to emerge.

He turned his head and looked behind him. He knew that Xue Wang was there, right behind him. She had just called out the word "spicy" and then stopped responding.

"You can actually stand up?"

A deep voice suddenly came from under the ruins.

Although it was well concealed, Jiang Shu could still detect a hint of surprise in it.

Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Shu realized that he had gone too far with pleasure, his mind went blank, and he stood up without knowing why.

We cannot do that right now.

You must make your opponent think you have the upper hand and reveal a weakness in order to have a chance to turn the tide.

Jiang Shu seemed to be startled.

Then, in that dazed state after the initial pleasure, he naturally acted out a heart attack patient suddenly having an attack, convulsing twice, and then collapsing to the ground.

The voice then relaxed, and said disdainfully:

"Hmph, I thought something unexpected had happened. Turns out you're just too weak. The difference between before and after the weakening isn't that big. Your body hasn't even reacted yet?"

Jiang Shu kept her eyes closed and remained motionless.

So, the opponent can only ensure that the skill is applied to the target, but cannot be sure whether their skill has taken effect?

Just then, he heard the sound of something running in the distance.

What's going on? The opposite direction.

Has reinforcement arrived, or are there still experts among them?

He quietly brought out the skill point allocation panel, preparing to allocate points as needed, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the sneak attack in conjunction with the [Pocket Watch of the Dead].

"Li Gan? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment.

He recognized the voice as that of the weasel with a human face.

He was confused. "You can recognize me even though I'm wearing a mask?"

"Do you know him?" the voice from beneath the ruins asked in confusion.

"He is my friend, and he helped me find the real killer of my daughter!" the weasel-faced man replied.

There was a moment of silence beneath the ruins, then a surging killing intent filled the air.

"What do you think is wrong with our daughter?!"

"She's dead!" The weasel-faced man cried bitterly. "She was murdered by a man named Sun Xiaochuan, and Li Gan was an eyewitness."

"Eyewitness? Ha...hahahahaha!"

The voice became frantic:

"You stupid woman! How could you not have suspected that he was the real killer of your daughter?"

The weasel-faced man was stunned for a moment, then immediately tore off Jiang Shu's mask.

Looking at his peaceful and obedient appearance with his eyes closed, the human-faced weasel shook its head: "I don't think so."

"You..." The voice became helpless: "Then how do you explain that he and that woman killed almost all of their fellow countrymen in the temple?"

"They're all dead?"

The weasel with the human face was shocked.

When I saw him yesterday, wasn't he just an ordinary person?

How did you do it?

And why would you...etc...

The weasel with the human face suddenly remembered what Jiang Shu had said when they last met.

I had said back then that if Jiang Shu encountered any difficulties, she could come to Yunfu Temple to find me; her husband was the abbot of Yunfu Temple, and his spiritual cultivation was far greater than mine...

He knew the details of Yunfu Temple!

And it was he who told him!

"I was wondering why he would come to cause trouble for the temple. It turns out he knew that offending me would end badly, so he brought helpers and planned to strike first?"

Despite his fury, the abbot remained rational and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"But I still can't understand it. Even if he has a reason to target me, I've been deeply involved with Yunfu Temple for many years. How does he know that the monks in the temple are all weasels?"

"Yes... how did he know?" The weasel-faced man asked with a strange expression.

"So I suspect that this hideout might have been targeted long ago, and the forces behind the helpers he found might have been planning to take action against us for a while... It seems that they have been acting too recklessly in recent years, and I don't know when the news leaked out."

"I think... I guess so."

"What's wrong with you?" The abbot finally noticed his wife's unusual behavior.

"I...I just can't accept that so many people have died. I...I'm heartbroken..."

"It's alright. Although they are of the same clan, they are all good-for-nothings. Na Yuzhen even dared to dream of taking my position as leader. It's better that he's dead."

The abbot comforted him, saying:

"As for Nannan... people can't come back to life. As long as you're alive, we can have more children in the future. For me, nothing is more important than your safety."

"But..."
